088 Jingge (Death for the First Alliance)

"It's a good "Ode to Pear Blossom", a touching and poignant love. This play has a rigorous structure, elegant lyrics and songs, an abyss of artistic conception, and a long aftertaste, which is really a rare masterpiece! Cheng, may I ask which playwright wrote this "Ode to Pear Blossoms"?"

As soon as Cheng Xiaolou returned to his seat, an old man with gorgeous hair and thick-bottomed silver-rimmed glasses on the examiner's seat on the left side of the stage looked at him directly and asked in amazement.

Cheng Xiaolou had some impressions of this bookish old man, and he had heard the candidates in the front row mention it before, as if he was a dramatist who was not light in the pear orchard world, but he didn't remember what his surname was.

"Teacher, you praised it in seconds, this play is not from the hands of the playwright, it was brought to this world by me. ”

Cheng Xiaolou stood up respectfully, touched the tip of his nose with some embarrassment, and said modestly.

"What?!Did you write the "Ode to Pear Blossoms" just now?"

The playwright was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the chair in surprise and stared at Cheng Xiaolou without blinking, and the shock in his heart was simply incomprehensible.

"No way, how old is he to write such a deep play. ”

Without waiting for Cheng Xiaolou to speak again, a handsome young man in his early thirties frowned and said very suspiciously.

"What Boss Wang said makes sense, this "Ode to Pear Blossoms" is not simple, if I heard it right, the play seems to have added elements of pop music, and the accompaniment, tune, and program are different from Peking Opera, and this play is in a sense a new exploration and attempt for the development of Peking Opera art. Not to mention that he is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, even those top playwrights in China may not be able to write it. ”

As soon as the handsome young man's voice fell, the short young man next to him, who was about the same age as him, and there was an arrogant aura between his eyebrows, immediately echoed.

Cheng Xiaolou, the two young examiners who spoke, also had some impressions, the handsome young man who was called Boss Wang seemed to be a full-time worker, and he had a bit of fame in Longcheng. The short young man who was born echo is a relatively rare little flower face, and he is also a well-known horn in Dragon City.

"Not necessarily, I think this kind of attempt to break the routine is in line with the ideas of young people, and this Cheng classmate sings mellow and fluent, rich and subtle, high and wide, clear, mellow and sweet, this kind of singing is unprecedented, completely different from other Tsing Yi factions in today's pear orchard world. ”

The two young examiners were obviously skeptical that "Ode to Pear Blossoms" was written by Cheng Xiaolou, but this does not mean that all the examiners did not believe that he could write a play of the level of "Ode to Pear Blossoms".

The old Mr. Shen Yishu, who was the most senior among the ten examiners and also worked in Tsing Yi, disagreed with the two young people's opinions.

"Shen Lao is right, this classmate's voice is brittle, bright, sweet, moist, wide and round, and the most rare thing is sweet and bright. Could he be a contemporary Tsing Yi inheritor of a certain sect that is rarely born?"

As soon as Shen Yishu's words fell, Wu Qi, a special professor of the Royal Peking Opera University and one of the contemporary inheritors of the Wu School, who was sitting next to him, also glanced at Cheng Xiaolou in the back row with some excitement and asked in shock.

"It's really possible that the art of Peking Opera is so vast and profound that there may be a niche faction that has been passed down for hundreds of years hidden somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Do you still remember the golden-voiced and silver-cavity iron pear flower that was born ten years ago, before that no one knew that there was such an iron school of Tsing Yi in the pear orchard world that has been inherited since the birth of Peking Opera art. Iron Boss's golden and cracked stone Tsing Yi singing voice is the only one in the entire Liyuan line, but this kind of singing has extremely high requirements for congenital requirements, and it is no wonder that there is only one inheritor of Iron Boss in this generation. ”

Mr. Hu Yiqin, another Jinghu master known as the "fairy hand", stroked the fairy beard on his chin, and made no secret of his appreciation and expectation for Cheng Xiaolou.

But those who are qualified to sit on the examiner seat of the special entrance examination of the Royal Peking Opera University are either the inheritors of a certain school with a very high rank in the pear orchard world, or the rising stars of the pear orchard who have become a corner in Longcheng and even the whole country.

Several of them had a disagreement because of Cheng Xiaolou's "Ode to Pear Blossoms", and suddenly there was nothing to do with those candidates, and these candidates didn't even dare to talk in a low voice, firstly, they were not qualified to intervene on this kind of issue, and secondly, they would subconsciously maintain enough respect when these seniors spoke.

Even Cheng Xiaolou himself wanted to explain several times, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity to speak, so he could only stand behind and watch.

"Student Cheng, you just said that this "Ode to Pear Blossom" was written by yourself, so can you tell us about the creation process of this play?"

Boss Wang, who is not weak in Longcheng, is the master of Jinghu, Mr. Hu Yiqin, who has just finished speaking, he found the space to speak again, and suddenly raised his voice a little, looked at Cheng Xiaolou and asked with a light smile.

Cheng Xiaolou said that this play was brought to this world by him, and others naturally understood that he created it.

That Boss Wang's question was to the point, and several other Peking Opera masters on the examiner's seat also looked at him, as if they all wanted to hear what he would say.

None of the people who can sit on the examiner's seat are idle people, their attainments in the art of Peking Opera are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, although it is the first time to hear "Ode to Pear Blossom", but this does not affect their appreciation and judgment of this play.

Being repeatedly doubted and troubled by others, Rao is Cheng Xiaolou's heart is calm enough, and a trace of displeasure and anger inevitably arise at this moment.

He glanced at the boss Wang lightly, and then said: "Just now, there seems to be a chief examiner who said that the play "Ode to Pear Blossoms" has added elements of pop music, in fact, it is true, the singing design of this play is based on the Peking Opera Erhuang key, incorporating modern music elements, strictly speaking, it is both a play and a song, so I call this form of work Beijing Song, Beijing Song is the enrichment and enrichment of modern songs, and it is also the improvement and innovation of Peking Opera. ”

"The work "Ode to Pear Blossoms" is to explore other possibilities for the development of Peking Opera art. I don't know if the examiners and the students here have noticed that in recent years, with the rapid development of audio-visual art forms such as movies, TV dramas, variety shows, and pop songs, Peking Opera has been hit more and more by the impact, and the situation has been precarious. If you always stick to the rules and eat the old books left by your ancestors, maybe within ten years, Peking Opera may only have the name of the quintessence of the country, but in fact it will become an antique that few people care about. ”

Cheng Xiaolou actually has a sentence that has not been spoken, Peking Opera has really happened in China, where he was in his previous life, from the prosperity to the tragic situation that no one cared about.

When it really comes to that point, maybe even the inheritance of this art will be cut off under the prosperity and decline!
